Signs you have a water leak
Due to the tucked away nature of your homes plumbing systems it’s often difficult to know you have a problem until your water bill skyrockets. There is, however, subtle signs you can keep an eye out for which could be an indication of a leaking water pipe. These include:
- Constant wet areas in the lawn or garden - this could be a puddle or just boggy soil
- Damp spots on the walls or ceiling - also peeling paint, discolouration, warping, flaking plaster
- Areas of mould growth - pay special attention to walls adjoining wet areas like the bathroom, laundry, or kitchen.
- Unusual growth - is there one tree or plant or one section of your garden which grows much faster than anywhere else?
- Cracking walls or foundations - constant exposure to water from a leaking pipe can damage your home structurally over time.
- Warped or expanding cabinetry
- Sudden and ongoing low water pressure
- Damp carpets
- A musty smell inside the house
If you’ve noticed any of these signs occurring around your home contact our team for a complete leak detection service today.
Causes of damaged water pipes
Water pipes are usually made of tough materials like copper or plastic and in most situations they will last many years. Pipes can be damaged due to:
- Ground movement
- Heavy vehicle movement
- Extreme wet followed by long dry spells
- Freezing temperatures
- Tool use or gardening
- Water hammer
- Water pressure too high
- Corrosion
Delaying leaking pipe repairs can cause significant damage to your home or property requiring often expensive rehabilitation works. Even small leaks can affect destruction over time.
